lasbella_accidentQUETTA: At least 15 people were killed and 20 more injured on Sunday when a passenger bus plunged into a deep ravine in Lasbella district, officials said.

The bus was carrying pilgrims from the shrine of Sufi saint Shah Noorani, and fell into the ravine in Lasbella district -- some 700 kilometres (430 miles) south of Quetta, as it tried to negotiate a sharp turn on a hill road.

"At least 15 people were killed and 20 others were injured in the bus accident," local administration official Fuwad Soomro told AFP.

Another government official in the area, Mohammad Ayub, confirmed the death toll.
